Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16
Reading Psalm 91:1 is like calling 9-1-1: “You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty…” There is a sense of safety and security, a feeling that somehow everything will be okay. That’s definitely the feeling I want to feel if I have to call 9-1-1, and let’s face it, there are a lot of emergencies in our world right now, many of which are bigger than a whole fleet of fire trucks can fix.
God delivers because God is our shelter. God covers us with pinion because we abide in God. God will rescue us when we call because we live in God’s shadow.
